Have you stopped drawing 🥹

hello there! thank you very much for your message. i love creating art a lot still, and i've actually been working on something for a big project that i'm hoping to post soon.

my artistic output has slowed recently due to a lot of different reasons. 2025 was a really hard year for me on a number of personal levels- a lot of really big life things kind of exploded in my face and kind of shattered my sense of reality. i had become very vulnerable in a way that i had never been before and nothing in my life was enough to cope with what had hurt me. i thought something very bad would happen to me if i stayed where i was and how i was living (i sometimes say to people that i thought some lake mungo nonsense would happen to me), so i...didn't quite leave (rent is still a bit crazy for me right now), but i started leaving.

for the past year i've been reinventing a way to live for myself and trying to develop a philosophy that will allow me to live with some degree of peace. i've been going out and touching grass more, trying different things, and meeting all kinds of different people. i've been making friends! and i've been regularly shocked at all the amazing people i meet who earnestly seem to like me. i've been going back to school for something i care a lot about as well. i know the change has been making a difference because what i carry back home from my experiences has been changing the way i interface with my daily life as well.

thank you again for your concern! and thank you everyone else who has been sending me nice messages over the last while. i love art and i will be back, but in the meanwhile, take care! i love you!

Hey i randomly started listeninb to different covers of olaria olara cuz theyre on youtube and i was thinkin about it, and i wanna kno what ur thots are on them. Like obviously the daniel kahn is your favve and i like it a lot (the lakustx session in particular really gives it a feelin of being at peace w the vastness of rhe world) but a bunch of the greek versions feel really compelling too (particularly /sxwG4TXkBH4 which i love the vocals for) so i just wanna kno ur thots on those xoxoxoxo hope ur doin good

It might be the most boring option but I think the album recording from bad old songs is my favorite. Like the live-ish recording from lakustx definitely has more energy, and it was the first one I listened too and was my favorite for a long time, but I think the more polished recording quality from the album actually helps a lot in this case because it feels much closer and warmer if that makes any sense. Can’t compete with Psoy Korelenko inexplicably in a cat beanie tho. The Greek versions are really compelling and I think this one (which i think was the original) is my favorite for just how different it is compared to the rest and just how much its connotation, for lack of a better word, has changed. Like what was originally a vague, purposefully absurd song about the political circus of Greece in the 70s eventually later got interpreted as a much slower and much more intimate song about the absurdity of life in general and enjoying a brief moment of comfort and respite in the middle of it.

Kaoru bandori

Sexuality: Lesbian but that’s practically canon

Gender: I’m still half asleep so instead of putting ‘gender’ I put ‘Kaoru’ because Kaoru took gender and made it good. Once I saw a really long and involved Twitter thread by a trans girl on why Kaoru Bandori trans and it was really really good so trans girl

Ship: Honestly I don’t have a Kaoru ship I’m very very into but Kaoru/Kanon is cute

BrOTP: HER AND KOKORO AND HAGUMI........ they are bestfriends

NOTP: ChisaKao is honestly just bad

Headcanon: She writes stuff herself sometimes and she’s like fucking Dostoevsky in that her stuff is genuinely actually very good but she has no idea how she did it and if you asked her what she meant she’d give you five conflicting interpretations. She writes poetry also and it follows the same rule of accidentally having deep meaning but also her meter and rhyme schemes are very good. I think she’s talented

General opinion: I’m glad to see a character who’s clearly supposed to be a lesbian in a cast of girls who also isn’t portrayed as predatory at all especially since we’re supposed to see her as relatively GNC (Craft Egg does not really commit because they have to maintain their Easily Consumable Girls archtype but) and she’s also just very fun and cute :> Bandori has good writing for a girlidol game just in general and I’m glad Kaoru isn’t an exception to that

You have probably gotten this before but if you ever do like tshirts or something they would fuck extremely

I've definitely been thinking about doing something I could sell! I would probably start off small though, like stickers and buttons
